Q: How can someone tame crazy frizzy hair and still keep their curls?
A. As a curly head person I find that many hairdressers don't really understand curly hair, in fact I would go as far to say a lot of curly haired people don't understand their own hair. The thing to remember is curly hair is very de-moisturised hair so you need to start with a great shampoo and conditioner ( Wella SP range is a great start)
When preparing your hair before drying, place through the hair (mid-lengths to ends) a hair moisturising conditioning cream "Wella SP power mask or hydro mask" my tip is to leave it in then using Wella SP super mousse through the hair for hold. Diffuser dry the hair, the moisture of the masks will help tame the frizz from your hair.....repeat process each morning by dampening down the hair with water and re-applying a little more product each day. Curly hair should be washed about 2 times a week NOT every day.
